From: Jeroen van der Ham <jeroen@...> Subject: New Beta coming soon! Newsgroups: gmane.editors.textmate.general Date: 2006-04-01 06:51:56 GMT Hello all,
As you may have noticed, the cycle of TextMate betas has slowed down recently. When talking to Allan yesterday, I asked him about the progress of reworking TextMate's innards. He confided me that during the recent months MacroMates has been cooperating with TheCodingMonkeys working hard to exchange experiences and to merge their editors.
Later today a new beta of SubEthaMate will be released, as a combined effort between TheCodingMonkeys and MacroMates. This new beta will feature preliminary support for both of SubEthaEdit and TextMate strongpoints, collaboration features, access to the Unix shell, and remote editing over (S)FTP. The beta will of course be very rough around the edges, and it will require extensive testing and feedback to get all this right. Allan told me that the new beta will be released only to the TextMate community later today. The public announcement will follow when SubEthaMate is more stable.
To be certain, I contacted one of TheCodingMonkeys, Martin Pittenauer. He confirmed that they are working with Allan to create a stronger editor. "TextMate and SubEthaEdit both have the same philosophy, selling their editor at a low price and placing high value on usability. It is time we combined our effort and knock BareBones off their throne.", he commented. He also told me that they are waiting for SubEthaMate to become reasonably stable, before releasing it to their community.
I can't wait to get my hands on the new beta! Jeroen.
